Areas of Expertise:
• Mechanical Design • Hydraulic Design • Towtruck and Auto Lift Design, Fabrication, Operation, Safety • Truck Body Design, Manufacturing, Operation and Safety • Construction Equipment Design, Fabrication, Operation, Safety • Steel Fabrication • Heat Transfer and Thermal Analysis • Stress Analysis Education: BS Mechanical Engineering, Cornell University MS Mechanical Engineering, Stanford University Pi Tau Sigma Mechanical Engineering Honorary Society Registrations: Professional Mechanical Engineer, California (No. 16493) Patents: Automotive Lifting and Towing Apparatus, Sept. 1994 (A hydraulically actuated arm which lifts the vehicle being towed by its tires and which is remotely controlled by the towtruck operator.) Computer Capabilities: Solid Works, COSMOS Works FEA Program for stress analysis Autocad, MS Office Experience: Legal Case Consulting • Evaluation of installation work done by a towtruck distributor which resulted in vehicle frame failure • Analysis of automotive lift design which resulted in damage to a vehicle being repaired and which threatened the safety of employees • Analysis of overheating problems resulting from the poor design of trash compactor truck bodies. The analysis included the development of a finite-difference thermal model of the compactor truck which accurately predicted the hydraulic fluid temperature variation through a daily cycle due to hydraulic heating and meteorological and solar effects. • Expert testimony for a pretrial hearing involving the injury sustained by a towtruck operator when part of the towtruck lifting mechanism failed. Design and Manufacturing (as owner of a manufacturing company) • Invention, development, design and manufacture of a towtruck mechanism for the remotely-controlled loading of vehicles • Design and manufacture of towtrucks, car carriers and truck accessories • Design and manufacture of loader buckets, hydraulic swivel buckets, hydraulic clamshells, scrap grapples, rock tongs, and other equipment for construction and demolition equipment • Supervisor of plant for fabricating, installing, and repairing towtruck bodies, car carrier bodies, and construction equipment General Engineering and Design • Chief Engineer for a company manufacturing automotive lifts for service garages • Senior engineer responsible for development of electromagnetic variable valve timing mechanisms for automotive engines • Consulting design engineer for development of hybrid electric vehicle propulsion systems • Manufacturing manager for development and assembly of particle beam sources and energy dumps for fusion plasma containment research • Manufacturing section manager for microwave chambers and radioactive containment devices |
